Percentage of invoice line items approved by replenishment/vendor managed inventory

This measure calculates the percentage of invoice line items approved by replenishment/vendor-managed inventory (VMI). An invoice line item is a single entry on an invoice. For example, an invoice for 10 red books at $1.00 each, and 20 blue books at $3.00 each, would be considered to have two invoice line items. VMI refers to any practice that involves cooperation between supply chain partners to control inventories in customers' distribution centers. This measure is part of a set of Supplemental Information measures that help companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "approve payments" process, which involves processing payments of operating expenses and other supplier charges.
